Fatima Moallim b. 1992
Fatima Moallim was born in Moscow, Russia.
Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden/Paris, France.
Moallim is a self-taught artist who uses practice of drawing as a foundation of her work, where she expresses the energy of her senses directly on to the material through the tip of the pen.
The experience of the activation of space is also at the core of the performances, installation practices and drawings of Moallim. Sometimes we see a scenery, or a narrative play out in Moallim’s drawings; and sometimes we only recognize repetitive patterns and ornaments, balancing on the scale between the figurative and abstract. In some instances, she uses the technique of single line drawing, an image making consisting of a line without lifting the pencil. The imagery becomes like a weave of associations, connecting the time and space together into a personal story of childhood, home and internal worlds.
In Moallim’s work, the viewer can see traces from poetry and literature. The act of performance can be sensed, either in the way the works were created or as site-specific activations. Influences such as Cy Twombly, Tracey Emin and Jean-Michel Basquiat are present in the mash-up of the deeply personal and the monumental.
Moallim has exhibited site-specific works at Moderna Museet Stockholm, Göteborgs konsthall, Marabouparken, Zinkensdamm metro station in Stockholm and on the glass facade of Bonniers konsthall. She is represented in the collection of British Museum, Moderna Museet, Sweden, Göteborgs konstmuseum, Ståhl Collection, Statens konstråd's Collection, Vinge Advokatbyrå Collection and was the 2022 Iaspis Studio Grant Holder ISCP, New York. In 2024 Moallim had a solo exhibition at Konstakademien (Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts) in Stockholm as a part of Folke Hellström-Linds Foundation prize.
